How did your lopsided math/science student do in admissions?

“He got a 2350 on his SAT I (2340 on one sitting, 800 on math and critical reading) and 800 on his SAT II in Math2, Physics and Chemistry. 5’s on all his AP tests, all in science, CS or math, except AP U.S. History, where he also got a 5. His weighted GPA was 4.262”

“He was clearly attractive to the STEM schools given his science background, but somewhat less competitive at MIT than Caltech since MIT emphasizes diversity and he is a white male.”

That’s your take-away??? Yeah, it must have been the white male part and not the part that it’s a lottery school. Your kid did great and will end up well I’m sure. Most kids don’t get accepted into every single top school even if they’re rock-your-socks-off amazing. Oh, and he’s not lopsided.
